Generally speaking, there is little wrong with Win8. It is the best streamlined version of an OS from those guys in years. The biggest issue I have is them burring many tweeks.

The pausing problem is a symptom of hardware / driver issues. Mine used to freeze for about 2 mins and then continue on as if nothing had gone wrong. It turned it to be a badly synchronised bus / video driver. Eventually Microsoft, NVidia and ASUS got their drivers right.

And to burst some bubbles, Linux runs like crap on my machine (and I don't care). Not every OS can handle 12 cores and 64 GB of ram......But Vista and Win8 does...

If you're experiencing a pause in DM780 waterfall and/or in audio output during DM780 transmit at an interval of EVERY 1 MINUTE, use View Network Server in the Logbook and look for a correlation with the "Command Keep Alive". My pauses occur exactly when Keep Alive happens and DO NOT occur if I close the connection between DM780 and Logbook. (Turn off the connect to Logbook option and restart DM780).

I have reported this to HRD many months ago and never got a response. Reported again today via the forum. Will open another Ticket if no clues from Forum members.

Now, GE has said that Windows 8 is "A problem".GE healthcare has said that "Windows 8 is a disaster waiting to happen".USAA, the big insurance company, recommends against Windows 8.Windows 8 is the new Vista.It is kind of like AT&T and the Picture Phone, nobody wants it!So, Microsoft sent out all of notices that XP is no longer supported.

Yet thousands of people run Windows 8.1 day in and day out with no problems at all (despite your conspiracy theories)...
